A CREEPER, ME AND A DEAD BIRD

Description

A meditation on freedom, repression and hope.
When the ivy does not find its tower
When the delicate creeper does not find a strong wall…
Do we know how parasite plants can grow but not prosper?
I was told that a woman should never be insecure. That she should never be struggling financially, spiritually, emotionally, or rely on others.
A dead bird doesn’t necessarily portend a physical death, but a metaphorical one.
This dead bird marks the end of my search and struggle.
It is the end of something and the start of something else.

Farida Yesmin (fka Kajoli Ilojak) was born and grew up in Bangladesh. She studied Fine Arts at Dhaka University (Bangladesh, 1998) and at Visva-Bharati University (West Bengal, India, 2003), from which she holds a Masters’ degree. In her ever-evolving artistic practice, she experiments with different media (from photography and drawing to live performance), exploring issues of gender, body politics and cross-cultural identity through a feminist lens. Through her art, she engages with the cultural expectations and ideological restrictions that she confronts as a woman, as an artist and as a refugee. The artist negotiates language barriers whilst staging her ‘otherness’ using her body, voice, painting and gestural mark-making as means of communication.
